Walz called Thompson&#8217;s statement &#8220;sensationalism&#8221; and said that it doesn&#8217;t &#8220;help&#8221; the state tackle the problem that he vowed to fix. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In early January, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/minnesota-fraud-schemes-house-oversight-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Republican Minnesota state representatives testified on Capitol Hill<\/a><\/span>, claiming the governor knew about the fraud and accusing him of letting it spiral out of control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GOP House Majority Leader Harry Niska says he wants to hear accountability from Walz and Ellison.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the governor respects Congress, I hope he is going to be forthcoming tomorrow,&#8221; Niska said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Walz defended his administration, accusing President Trump of &#8220;politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Wednesday&#8217;s hearing, a spokesperson for Walz&#8217;s office said, &#8220;The Governor takes Congress seriously, and his hope is that Congress will take Congress seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ellison&#8217;s office says &#8220;he [Ellison] will encourage members of the committee to set partisan politics aside and work across party lines to fight fraud and protect Medicaid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers will also hear from Rev.

I&#8217;ll be the first to acknowledge that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But let me be clear: In Minnesota, if you defraud public programs, if you steal taxpayer money, we&#8217;ll find you, we&#8217;ll prosecute you, we&#8217;ll convict you and we&#8217;ll throw you in jail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tim-walz-keith-ellison-testify-house-oversight-fraud-hearing\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota Gov.
